Cheat on an old laptop

#1 Post by swen »

I have an old Compaq Pressario from 2001. Only 5 GB hard drive, slow processor,etc. Puppy 4.0 works just fine on it, though.
I wanted to try wireless on it, but didn't have much luck, even with the forums help. So,I cheated. I used an Ethernet PC card while I put in my wireless Belkin adapter, and was online when I ran the wireless setup and let one help the other. Then I went in and saved my connection, rebooted, and clicked on Browse. Went right on. Sometimes I guess you can get lucky.

Nothing like thinking out of the box.

Please let everybody know what Belkin card you are using, Please.

Part# and Version # are usually on the bottom of the box.

Thanks!
If at first you don't succeed try try again!
